10-42 Tactical

10-42 Tactical started in 2017 when Bryan Gaus—a former Wheeling Police officer and West Virginia State Trooper—decided his brothers and sisters in uniform deserved better than an out-of-touch distributor. His vision: a company that actually answers the phone and treats each department like a real partner, not a transaction.

Headquartered in Wheeling, West Virginia, they now serve departments across the New England, Ohio Valley, and beyond—with customers as far as Louisiana.
